For Organizations Involved In The ISS Or Committed To STEM Education Initiatives

A device that brings mission-control for the International Space Station to a TV screen in your lobby, break-room or at your desk

The ISS-ABOVE is an opportunity to energize your employees and to help your company inspire a generation of students. ISS-ABOVE tells them where the Space Station is, when they can see it, how fast it’s moving and shows them Earth from ‘up there’ in space. DOWNLOADa brochure.

Where did it all start?

Back in November 2013, I wanted to create a gift for my grandkids from their “geek” grandpa. With a Raspberry Pi, some programming talent and a passion for space, the ISS-Above was born.

Today, there are ISS-ABOVE devices all over the world:

Bill Nye’s office

A Space Station astronaut’s home so his family knows when he’s nearby

The studios of TWIT TV

Corporate lobbies and offices

Schools and colleges

Cafes and restaurants

Thousands of homes

What is it for?

The ISS-ABOVE keeps your employees ever present to the magnificent achievement that the ISS is. Whatever projects they’re working on, they’ll be re-energized by an ISS-Above. What everyone discovers is:

How often the Space Station passes nearby

When to go outside and see the ISS pass overhead

Which astronauts are up there

Fascinating detail about the Space Station’s orbit, speed and position in the sky

Hooked to a TV, you’ll see:

Custom corporate branded screen with your own content about your involvement with the ISS

I cancelled our lobby cable TV and replaced it with the ISS video feed. People can’t believe the view they are seeing is “live”; and the dedication of the men and women working on behalf of all of us.
